What is National Socialism? What is Communism?
What is Corporatism? What is Syndicalism?
As a researcher and writer attempting to describe the ideology behind the
technocratic tyrannical systems of control that are being implemented in this
country, the first impulse is to try to find the
parallel movement in history. The problem with that becomes obvious rather
quickly. The -isms
are defined within the historical context in which they become known to the rest
of the world. It seems to this writer that they are not so much ideologies
as methods of management that become political when adopted as governing
practice.

What precipitated this re-look at the -isms was the recollection of the FDR's National
Recovery Act - NRA - at least that was my stored memory of the name.
Actually, it was the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) of 1933
administered by the National Recovery Administration. It was one aspect of
FDR's New Deal which was
the umbrella name for a set of public policy programs for economic recovery
following the stock market crash and the Great Depression of the 1930's.
It was declared unconstitutional in 1935 in the case of Schecter Poultry
Corporation v. United States. There is an excellent article about it
on the American Thinker website titled,
The Supreme Court and FDR's Power-Grab. The facts of the
case as presented on
Oyez website.

Facts of the Case

Section 3 of
the National Industrial Recovery Act
empowered the President to implement
industrial codes to regulate weekly
employment hours, wages, and minimum
ages of employees. The codes had
standing as penal statutes.

Question

Did Congress
unconstitutionally delegate legislative
power to the President?

What the
NIRA legislation did was to privatize and cartelize public policy under the
color of law.

CODES OF FAIR COMPETITION

SEC.3. (a)
Upon the application to the President by
one or more trade or industrial
associations or groups the President may
approve a code or codes of fair
competition for the trade or industry or
sub- division thereof, represented by
the applicant or applicants, if the
President finds (1) that such
associations or groups impose no
inequitable restrictions on admission to
membership therein and are truly
representative of such trades or
industries or subdivisions thereof, and
(2) that such code or codes are not
designed to promote monopolies or to
eliminate or oppress small enterprises
and will not operate to discriminate
against them, and will tend to
effectuate the policy of this title:
Provided, That such code or codes shall
not permit monopolies or monopolistic
practices : Provided further, That where
such code or codes affect the services
and welfare of persons engaged in other
steps of the economic process, nothing
in this section shall deprive such
persons of the right to be heard prior
to approval by the President of such
code or codes. The President may, as a
condition of his approval of any such
code, impose such conditions (including
requirements for the making of reports
and the keeping of accounts) for the
protection of consumers competitors,
employees, and others, and in
furtherance of the public interest, and
may provide such exceptions to and
exemptions from the provisions of such
code, as the President in his discretion
deems necessary to effectuate the policy
herein declared.

FDR gave a monopoly of governing power to
syndicates of special interest. The idea was "self-governance" of industry
along functional lines with function being defined as "the market" in which the
syndicates are engaged. The following is an excerpt from the above mentioned
American Thinker article by J.R. Dunn:

"What went unmentioned, then
and later, was the fact that the NRA was adapted almost entirely from
"corporatism," the economic system of Italian fascism. Italian industry was
divided into state-run "corporatives", which set hours, wages, working
conditions, and industrial policy, the same as the code authorities.
(Curiously, coming from a die-hard anti-cleric such as Mussolini, the
concept was originally Catholic.) Mussolini considered the corporate state
to be a "third way" between capitalism and socialism, providing all the
benefits of government control with none of the drawbacks of expropriation
as practiced in the USSR. Tugwell and Berle appeared to agree."

Setting aside the militarism
of fascist Italy, corporatism was a management philosophy based on syndicalism.
The syndicates were unions of industry participants that were given license to
set public policy with the force of law behind them and in the case of Italy,
the military.

In the United States today,
we are beset by a corporate designed Syndicalist system imposing private materialist
policies through government agency (as in instrumentality). In other
words, it's organized crime operating through government. With
Homeland Security ramping up operations, one could say that we are in the early
stages of a replay of Nazi
Germany and Fascist Italy in a modern context.

The initiation of projects to
redesign the systems of government began during the George H.W. Bush
administration but the real work on the systems began when Al Gore and Bill
Clinton came into office. The "Reinvention of Government" project was
exactly that... reinvention with the redesign of systems being led by the
large technology corporations who by definition exist within and operate from a
corporate, totalitarian model of control and that model of control was the
thematic center to the "reinvention of government". The enabling
legislation was the High Performance Computing and Communications Act of 1991.
This legislation opened up the nation's telecommunications system effectively
creating a national corporate communications backbone that is the platform
to enable the design of
corporatized systems of management of everything.

"This is the end of this
business centralization, and I want you to go back and tell the president that
we're not going to let this government centralize everything. It's coming
to an end".
Justice
Louis Brandeis, speaking of the NIRA.

"Stakeholders" were invited to participate in working groups of the redesign of
government projects. The Stakeholders are representatives of the industry
for which the centralized systems were designed and as a consequence, the
systems were designed to further the profit incentives of the Stakeholders
rather than the interest of the public.

The most
recent example of corporatized systems management is the Health Insurance
Exchanges.

In sum,
what we have is organized crime acting as government and with few people today
with the character and backbone to stand against it.

P.S. The issue of the forced
installation of Smart Meters is very likely a good Supreme Court case on the
same principles as the Schecter case because the Public Utility Commissioners
exceeded their authority under 16 U.S.C §2621(d)(14). Further evidence of
organized criminal activity is the decoupling of utility rates with fixed costs
in furtherance of a nebulous goal of collective efficiency to save the planet -
while giving special price breaks to insiders.

"But the truth is that
while the amount of data being collected by utility companies has increased
vastly with the advent of smart grids, not all that information is being
converted to meaningful intelligence."
